Convert AZW3 to EPUB

Understanding AZW3 and EPUB file formats

The AZW3 file format, also known as Kindle Format 8, is an eBook format used by Amazon Kindle devices. It supports a wide range of features including HTML5 and CSS3, allowing for complex layouts and rich formatting. On the other hand, the EPUB format is a widely adopted eBook format that is compatible with most eReaders except for Kindle. It is an open standard format that supports reflowable content, meaning the text display can be optimized for the particular display device.

Why convert AZW3 to EPUB?

Converting AZW3 to EPUB is often necessary when you want to read Kindle books on non-Kindle devices. Since EPUB is a more universally accepted format, converting your eBooks to EPUB ensures compatibility with a broader range of eReaders and applications.
